School fails at teaching. ( random post )

RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

School fails at teaching. ( random post )

On one side of the coin, school has a horrible way of passing knowledge to the future generations.

On the OTHER side of the coin, school also fails at teaching children how to be NOT FREAKING CRAZY!

Hasn't anyone noticed that more and more children are going crazy and plain batshit?!

I mean look at when you see a little kid on video games. I know, he's "young" and it's just a game. But What The FREAK!? Some of them are crazy as hell!

Maybe I shouldn't just use video games as an example, but even in every day life and such, some of em are messed up!

By the way, I am not generalizing, some kids are very smart and normal, but a lot aren't.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
